Glass found himself increasingly dissatisfied with the music he was writing and, indeed, with the prevailing musical milieu of the time, which was a sort of cross between the scrappy, anarchic chance music of John Cage and the densely complicated work of the dissonant modernists.
Upon his return to the United States in 1966, Glass worked again with Shankar, who was then a visiting professor at the City College of New York, and with Alla Rakha, a virtuoso on the tabla, a drum from central India.
In 1968 he put together the first Philip Glass Ensemble, an aggregate consisting of amplified keyboards, voices, saxophones and flutes (also, on occasion, trumpets and violin) that would remain his principal means of musical expression for more than a decade and is still a key element of his creative life.

Labeled one of the four founders of compositional "minimalism" in the 1960s, Glass has since left behind the despised moniker by producing a succession of monolithic harmonic constructions and elaborate music-theater works.
